How to Handle Interview Nervousness

Nervousness is one of the greatest side effects of over thinking, and this happens a lot before a job interview. Don’t think too much about something you don’t know much about or that is yet to occur. You will do nothing but build up the nervousness and panic unnecessarily when the situation occurs

Here are a few job interview tips on how to handle nervousness:

Tackle the nerves
To get rid of your nervousness, just divert your mind. Shift your focus to something else. This will help you worry less and calm you down automatically.

You’re awesome
Tell yourself how good you would be at this job if you were to be hired. List your good qualities and remind yourself of them. Whether they are characteristics you require for the job or not, a longer list is always better. This is not an ego boost exercise but just to help you realize you deserve good things too and that you’re worth more than you think.

Be patient and trust your instincts
If you are asked to wait at the interview, be patient and wait. Relax your mind and be calm while you do. Don’t worry too much about doing anything wrong and how to do it right. Trust your instincts, think, and don’t panic. You probably won’t go wrong.

Formal yet friendly
Our favorite job interview tips – be formal! With your attire, your mannerisms, and mostly just be polite and speak clearly and confidently. If you still are intimidated by your interviewer imagine the face of your dearest friend appear instead of the face of your interviewer. This will help you be more confident and just be more at ease if nothing else.

The hardest part
The hardest part of the interview is when it’s done and you need to wait for a call back. If it works out in your favor, you deserve it. If it doesn’t work out, keep the faith.
